When four readers tell you about a house for sale, you’d better share it with others. Thanks to Karen, Karla, Eva, & Sarah, we present the cat house in Concho, Arizona. We’ll let the photos tell the story.

It was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s to create massive built-in entertainment centers or media niches. Back in the day when TVs were narrower and also when big TVs were very deep. But nowadays, most of these media niches are functionally obsolete. Today’s TVs are wider and shallow.

This TV actually fits in the niche. But the surrounding niches only encourage home owners to become collectors. Future hoarders?

Sometimes they are used only to display items.

They can also be demoted to secondary status. The knotted curtain gets full priority in this room.

Today is Boxing Day in Canada. Last year, we posted a photo of a punching bag to celebrating boxing. But some Canadian readers said we got it wrong. This year, we’re posting photos of boxes. We hope we get it right this time. Happy Boxing Day!

This Phoenix home has lots and lots of boxes. They really know how to celebrate Boxing Day!

More boxes in the bedroom closet!

Toy collection pinned to the wall. Plus pin-up calendars. And a messy home office. No boxes?

Since they’re selling the house and since it’s Boxing Day today, they should box up all the books and movies.
